Salem to Relocate ‘Village of Hope’
Micro-Shelter Community Moving to Center Street

Salem, Oregon's plan to relocate 40 micro-shelters to 1210 Center St. from its current location on Portland Road, will move forward after the Marion County Circuit Court signed a judgment of dismissal in the Writ of Review. This means the City will now prepare the vacant lot for the transitional housing development.

“We are very pleased to see this next phase of the Center Street location moving forward,” said Salem Mayor Chuck Bennett “Micro-shelters, like this one, are key to getting people into long-term, stable housing. It’s this transitional period that we, and our community partners, have found tremendous success in getting people the assistance they need.”

Micro-shelter sites supposedly provide temporary and secure housing with 24-hour security, on-site staff, restrooms, meals, peer support, trash services, and connections to local service providers and programs.

On-site staff assist with medical needs, job applications, and searches for long-term housing.

The new “Village of Hope” location will be managed by the nonprofit partner organization, Church at the Park, which currently manages the Portland Road location.

"I'm beyond thrilled that the ‘Village of Hope’ will be relocating to the Center Street location,” said Salem City Councilor Virginia Stapleton, who represents Ward 1 in Salem. “The citizens of Salem have repeatedly told us that addressing homelessness is the top priority."

There are already two micro-shelter sites located throughout the city, with two more locations in consideration for future use.

You can learn more about micro-shelters online, or you can contact Gretchen Bennett, Salem's Unsheltered Residents and Houselessness Liaison at 503-540-2371.

The City of Salem says that they encourage anyone experiencing housing issues to contact social service providers to help identify any available resources and housing solutions in the community.
